Chapter 604 - 604: Am I Qualified To Teach You?

Avery thought the bandage broke. She looked at her palm. The gauze wrapped it nicely and neatly. Every layer covered the last layer of gauze, and it was perfect.

Avery once teased Evan that it was how OCD people wrapped up wounds. There were few who had to make it so nice, clean, and neat?

Well, it seemed there were many with OCD. Avery got thinking and forgot to find out where the blood on the key came from.

She remembered how Charles told her Evan came to B Country as well.

What should she do with him?

Should she order people to throw Evan out, or tell him she missed him? But she didn't deserve it...

She slept with another man and betrayed him.

She touched the gauze, and there was fresh blood on it. Pss—

A sting came from her fingertips. She took a second look. A wound which was as thin as the thread broke, and blood seeped out.

Avery looked back at the key and tried to press it with her fingers. The sound of "mi" was weaker than it normally sounded.

Avery pressed lower, and she saw the light. She picked it up, and it was a thin blade.

It was like how her boots were placed on her nails while riding. This was not very clever.

She heard footsteps behind her back. And she hurried to put the blade away.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

The voice was deep and s.e.xy. It climbed on her spine like a shock of electricity. She was still, but couldn't help turning around slowly with curiosity.

When their eyes met in the air, everything on the earth stopped moving. At that second, the milky snow ground outside the green window stopped because of what the man had said.

Avery suddenly stood up with her back against the piano. She didn't know where she should put her hands all of a sudden. She pressed on the keys and made sounds. The music was as chaotic as her mind.

"You..."

Avery got blushed, recalling what happened last night. As he moved closer, Avery stepped back and soon got behind the piano.

There was a piano between them. Avery felt safe about the distance.

But the diplomatic banquet hasn't started yet. What was he doing here?

The man read her mind. He stopped walking. He didn't do anything, and he was as astonishingly good-looking as Evan. But he just stood there and grabbed all the attention.

Why was that?

And why did she feel glued and couldn't move?

Is it because they say the best way to grab a woman is through a v.a.g.i.n.a?

Is it because they had s.e.x, and the walls she set up around her heart fell down?

"I'm here to ask an explanation from Your Highness."

The man had gold hair and good-looking eyebrows and eyes. His skin was as transparent as a good jade. He looked distant, yet his face was perfect. His lips were thin and sharp, with the tough and great jaw.

Avery's heart suddenly started pounding.

If it continued, they would hear Avery's heartbeat. She hurried to interrupt him, "Mr. Lautner, last night was an accident. We're both a.d.u.l.ts. You should..."

"Do you think what happened last night was only a one-night stand?"

"Or what else?"

Did he expect more? Avery looked at the man who gave off the dangerous vibe with alertness.

Only a question from the man knocked the confidence out of Avery.

She was drugged last night. He had s.e.x with her to save her. It was all right. But after she gradually came to herself, he had s.e.x with her again, although she said no.

He was happy too.

But now he challenged her like this. It was like he didn't take any advantage. Avery held back her temper and took a deep breath, "What do you want? This is the presidential house!"

Avery was reminding him not to try anything funny.

"I want you to take responsibility."

The man stood straight.

Avery frowned ferociously. Actually, he had been haunting her brazenly since she got in his car to lose the bodyguards.

She stared at the man without moving. Was it that she overthought or he really had ulterior motives?

Suddenly, Avery felt something cold coming. She detected something was going wrong with agility. She swayed. Luckily, there was a piano between them, or the man would have thrown himself at her.

Avery took it at the door. It was guarded by the security team. How could they just let him in?

And the piano teacher, not Evan, was supposed to meet her.

The man sensed Avery was dodging. He smiled, "Your Highness, you're very afraid of me?"

Avery thought she had more pressure since the man came into the room. His presence was so strong that it covered hers.

"I have to practice. Please leave."

"I'll keep you company."

Avery's look changed and said no without any hesitation, "If you don't leave, there will be ugly consequences."

"The road is slippery because of the snow. The piano teacher broke his hand on the way."

"Mr. Lautner, are you ignoring that I said no?"

"Oh? Are you rejecting me?" The man's voice was s.e.xy and charismatic, "But I think you're playing hard to get with me?"

"I'm not playing the silly game. Aren't you capable of understanding my meaning? I said it very clearly. The door is over there. Please show yourself out."

Avery was so annoyed by the man, not because he was brazen, but his undisputed presence. It came from within his veins. He was born with a strong charisma that she couldn't resist.

And, she felt so familiar with it. It was so familiar that she couldn't dare to think.

Avery tried to move to the door. So she could get out of here while he was not watching.

Then Avery felt very frustrated. When did she become like this? The man didn't do anything, but she withdrew more than she could.

She was fast, and the man moved faster.

He grabbed her wrist tightly and took her to his right side. And Avery was forced to sit down in front of the piano.

The strong man walked over and sat next to her, "Didn't you say you were gonna practice?"

"To Alice?"

The man put on the arrogant smile after he saw the music sheet. He stared at her with his crystal blue eyes. And he started playing smoothly and fluently.

It was like the magic controlled him.....

Avery shook her head to stop thinking about him.

The beautiful piece was in the room. The sun came from the gaps on top of them. There were magical streams of light.

"Am I qualified to teach you?"

After the piece was finished, the man tilted his head to ask Avery. The beautiful music was still lingering around his fingertips.

Avery had to confess she was very impressed with his playing. She was shocked. When she came to herself, she moved away from the man. But he put his hand around her waist.

It was like he was her boyfriend, and he should be intimate with her.

But Avery was completely annoyed. She threw away his hands. And she heard him saying, "Do you want me to play Twinkle twinkle little stars?"
